PER CURIAM:
Stephen John Guidetti appeals the district court’s
order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint.
The district court referred this case to a magistrate judge
pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(b)(1)(B) (West 2006 & Supp. 2012).
The magistrate judge recommended that relief be denied and
advised Guidetti that failure to file timely, specific
objections to this recommendation could waive appellate review
of a district court order based upon the recommendation.
The timely filing of specific objections to a
magistrate judge’s recommendation is necessary to preserve
appellate review of the substance of that recommendation when
the parties have been warned of the consequences of
noncompliance. Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th
Cir. 1985); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985).
Guidetti has waived appellate review by failing to file specific
objections after receiving proper notice. Accordingly, we grant
Guidetti leave to proceed in forma pauperis, affirm the judgment
of the district court, and dismiss Guidetti’s motion to suppress
testimony.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
